Before the glass is ordered
Integral blinds
Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
Glazing rules in England
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Billericay: questions
Do you cover Basildon as well as Billericay?
Yes. As well as Billericay, we can arrange surveys in nearby Basildon, Wickford and Brentwood. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can sliding doors be lifted out?
Older sliding doors without anti-lift blocks can be. We check for this at the survey and can fit blocks at the same visit.
Will laminated glass make my bifolds harder to open?
Units are slightly heavier. We adjust hinges, rollers and carriages after fitting so the doors run smoothly.
Do you work on aluminium bifolds?
Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.
